Synopsis for Cracks In The Ice – inspired by actual events

In 1999, Ryan Turner, a daring New York journalist, haunted by his failure to save a girl from rape and murder during the Rwandan genocide, returns to Africa – this time to war-torn Sierra Leone – in the hope of breaking a society-changing story to purge his guilt. He discovers the corrupt, megalomaniac President of neighboring Liberia is brutalizing Sierra Leone’s population and stealing blood diamonds to fund a major terror attack against the US. To silence Ryan permanently, the President lays a lethal trap by kidnapping his cameraman’s 10-year-old daughter. Ryan must choose between risking his life to save the girl or breaking the story to save his country.
